Ultimo Dugas 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 (edited) Welcome to the Gambling Thread for WWE Judgement Day! The return of the Intercontinetal Title! YES! I was considering from here on out referring to the Big Gold Belt as the Intercontinetal Title, but I don't have to now. Considering we don't have a full list of entrants into the IC Battle Royale, betting on that match is optional as is betting on the Bikini Contest because thats really really trivial. Remember also now, that the NEW~! Gambling Odds system is in place, as myself and ArmyEye (well ok, mostly ArmyEye) have finally worked out the kinks in the spreadsheet (aka my not having MS Office). Perhaps now someone can overthrow Kotzenjunge. Because the newbies are being given more money now, I will add $500 to everyone's total to even things out. Also I have decided that by default ArmyEye gets a spot for all his help, hey its the very least I could do. Here are the current standings: 1-Kotzenjunge 4400 2-Canadian Chris 3650 3-NaturalBornThriller4:20 3625 4-Space_Cowboy 3600 5-Canadian Chick 3300 6-TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 3200 7-The Tino Standard 3100 8-Kingpk 3050 9-tpww7 3050 10-Sandman9000 3000 11-Ultimo_Dragon 2750 12-the r-train 2750 13-teke184 2750 14-I’m That Damn Zzzzz 2650 15-Bischoff Is God!!! 2550 16-Marvinisalunatic 2500 17-African American 2350 18-Hollywood Spike Jenkins 2350 19-DeputyHawk 2300 20-Anglesault 2150 21-creativename 1900 22-chave 1850 23-Bravesfan 1700 24-MrZsasz 1500 25-AM The Kid 1500 26-Secret Agent 1500 27-Zack Malibu 1450 28-EricDraven 1450 29-Showstoppa Icon 1400 30-Spaceman Spiff 1350 31-the pinjockey 1350 32-TheHulkster 1175 33-Lonewolf218 1150 34-Lightning Flik 1100 35-ViciousFish 1100 36-ArmyEye 1000 37-doink 950 The Rules are as follows: 1--You can now make bets as high as you want. However, you must bet whole numbers. 2--You have to bet at least $800 on each show to avoid sandbagging. If you have less than $800, you must bet all the money you have. 3--The way betting works now is like this: If the odds on a wrestler are POSITIVE (+), the number represents the amount of money you can win if you bet $100 on him. Example - If you bet $100 on Nash (+155) to win his match, you get back $155 if he wins. If you risk $200, you stand to win $310. Bet $500, you can win $775, etc. If the odds are NEGATIVE (-), the number represents the amount of money you must bet to win back $100. Example - You bet $175 on Triple H (-175) to win, you stand to win $100 (and lose your bet of $175 if Triple H loses). If you bet $350, you can win $200. Bet $1,000 on him, you can win about $570, etc. 3--You must bet on at least 5 matches on the card. 4--To place your bets, simply cut & paste from the card below and who and how much you're gambling under the match. 5--No-contests, Double DQs, double count-outs, time-limit draws etc result in a no win/no lose situation and negate the bet. 6--Anyone who drops down to $0 in the bank is not allowed back in – they must live with the stigma of being a stupid wrestling fan until the day they die. 7--Betting will be closed 30-60 minutes before the PPV, but you may edit your bets in the thread up until that time. Anyone caught betting after that time will be disqualified and will not be allowed in the gambling game afterwards. 9--Now that we have a spreadsheet to do the calculating for us I will allow in more newbies, this month I'll start with 10 and see how it goes from there. As a newbie you get $1000 betting money that you may distribute around the card freely, as long as you bet at least 5 matches. Here is the card for WWE Judgement Day: WWE Title Stretcher Match Brock Lesnar (-450) © vs. The Big Show (+325) World Heavyweight Title Match Triple H © (-175) vs. Kevin Nash (+155) WWE Tag Team Titles Ladder Match Team Angle (-200) © vs. Los Guerreros (+170) WWE Intercontinental(!)

Molly would do so much better, but I guess they need another face to even it out) Winner: Jazz; $100 Bikini Contest Torrie Wilson (+100) vs. Sable (-110) Winner: Torrie Wilson; $100 As always, and I expect a few more this time around, comments and suggestions are welcome. Please note that the new system is experimental and may require tweaking of the rules to make it fair. Anyways, now that the ranks are being opened up a bit hopefully we can get a decent amount of gamblers in here. Alright everyone, lets see some bets! EDIT: Edited the rules.

Ultimo Dugas 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Ok I figured this would be a problem...Either newbies should start with 1000 or I should make it so you don't have to bet on every match. What do you guys want? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted May 15, 2003 (edited) WWE Title Stretcher Match Brock Lesnar (-450) © vs. The Big Show (+325) With Angle coming back as a heel, it's easy to tell who wins this. Bet = 500 on Brock Lesnar World Heavyweight Title Match Triple H © (-175) vs. Kevin Nash (+155) Stupid stupid stupid. Need I say more about this title? Bet = 300 on Triple H WWE Tag Team Titles Ladder Match Team Angle (-200) © vs. Los Guerreros (+170) Chavo's out for six months. Again another easy bet. Bet = 100 on Team Angle WWE Intercontinental(!) Title Battle Royale Confirmed Entrants: Christian, Rob Van Dam, Kane, Test, Lance Storm, Chris Jericho, Goldust, Booker T (All are +250, unless you decide to bet on someone not listed, then the bet is +500) I'm saying Christian just because he's getting promoted a lot. Bet = 50 on Christian Mr. America (-220) vs. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper (+180) If it was confirmed that this would be to take off Mr. America's mask, I'd say Piper. Bet = 50 on Mr. America Rhyno, Chris Benoit, and Brian "Spanky" Kendrick (-110) vs. John Cena, Chuck Palumbo, and Johnny Stamboli (+100) Ugh match for all the wrong reasons. As all the faces are better than being stuck in this. I expect this one to be MOTN (because Chavo's hurt) Bet = 25 on the heels. La Resistance (-130) vs. Test and Scott Steiner (+110) WHY? Bet = 25 on Test and Steiner Fatal Four Way Women's Title Match Jazz (+140) © vs. Victoria (+250) vs. Trish Stratus (+170) vs. Jacqueline (+500....why? Molly would do so much better, but I guess they need another face to even it out) Should be another good match. Bet = 25 on Victoria Bikini Contest Torrie Wilson (+100) vs. Sable (-110) Torrie is the female Triple H. I'm betting this match to upstage the woman's title match. Bet = 25 on Torrie Wilson Edited May 16, 2003 by Lightning Flik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Showstoppa Icon Report post Posted May 15, 2003 i vote for not bet on every match, even with 1000, on a PPV like this, itll be easy to lose your cash, just make a minimum ammount of matches to bet on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultimo Dugas 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 I like that idea, a minumum amount of matches to bet on. Perhaps 3 matches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Boomer Sprinklespax Report post Posted May 15, 2003 I'd say 5 matches. I think we should do at least half. And I think, since it will be so easy to gain or lose cash, newbies should still get 1000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Showstoppa Icon Report post Posted May 15, 2003 if newbies get 1000 i think u should add 500 to the other player's scores Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Boomer Sprinklespax Report post Posted May 15, 2003 if newbies get 1000 i think u should add 500 to the other player's scores I have no problem with this. To clarify: five matches should be the minimum I think because there are usually three easy-to-predict matches on any given card. With three, there isn't enough gamble. Hence five.
